OCD Therapy in New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island

You already have the strength and clarity within you to live with more peace. OCD therapy is here to help you access it

You catch yourself stuck in a cycle of worries and what-ifs- did I wash my hands enough? Did I lock the door? Why can’t I stop replaying that thought? The endless rituals and intrusive thoughts leave you feeling drained and on edge, making it hard to fully enjoy your work, your relationships, or even your daily life. You’re exhausted from trying to quiet your mind, and it feels like no matter how hard you try, the doubts just won’t let up.

You just want to be able to feel present in your own life, without intrusive thoughts or urges pulling you into endless loops of doubts and “what ifs”

Maybe you notice that big life moments- like planning a wedding or making a big move- bring up extra challenges with worry and control. You find yourself caught in repetitive thoughts or rituals, double-checking every detail, or getting stuck in “what if” scenarios. Instead of feeling excited you end up drained and preoccupied, which makes it harder to actually enjoy the moment you’ve been looking forward to.

You might notice yourself feeling extra anxious in social situations- whether it’s a birhday party, a family dinner, or even just casual conversations. You want to be present, but intrusive thoughts pop up or you find yourself stuck on whether you said the “right” thing. Later, you replay the conversation over and over in your head, checking for mistakes or reassurance. Instead of enjoying the moment, you’re left feeling drained, preoccupied, and disconnected.

Even when you’re with someone you’re really excited to see, your mind can feel flooded with doubts and “what ifs.” You might overanalyze every word you say, worry that you offended them, or get stuck replaying the interaction in your head. Later, you keep checking and questioning yourself, wondering if you did something wrong. Deep down, you know it’s not who you are- it’s just that without the right tools, OCD can make it harder to relax, enjoy yourself, and feel truly connected.

You might benefit from OCD therapy if:

  • You catch yourself getting stuck on intrusive thoughts that play on repeat, even when you try to ignore them

  • You feel like you have to do certain rituals or routines to ease the anxiety, even when they take up a lot of time

  • You double-check things- like locks, stoves, or emails- over and over, just to feel certain

  • You get caught up in “what if” thinking, imagining worst-case scenarios that feel impossible to turn off

  • You replay conversations in your head, worried you said or did something wrong

  • You feel an overwhelming need for things to be “just right” and get frustrated if they’re not

  • Your body reacts too- tension, racing heart, or exhaustion from the constant mental and emotional stress

What are the signs and symptoms of OCD?

The signs and symptoms of OCD can look different for everyone. What matters is noticing the ways it’s showing up in your life. Even when it feels like intrusive thoughts or compulsions are running the show- you’re still the one in charge. With the right support, you can learn how to quiet the doubt, manage the rituals, and feel more present and at ease as you create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

HOW CAN OCD THERAPY IN NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, AND RHODE ISLAND HELP?

I want you to feel calmer, supported, and empowered to create a life that truly feels like yours

I know OCD can make it feel like your mind is stuck on repeat- full of doubts, “what ifs",” and urges to check or do things over and over. My goal is to help you feel calmer, empowered, and more in control of your own life- no matter how overwhelming those thoughts and rituals might feel right now. I’ve worked with many people who struggled with both eating disorders and OCD. Before therapy, they felt stuck in cycles of intrusive thoughts, checking, and self-doubt. Through our work together, they began to feel more confident, more present, and able to move through life without being held back by OCD symptoms.
